      Any particular reason why "it's good in general?"

      Because people fleeing oppression or disaster should be able to work and eat as well?

      Because it’s not a zero sum game economically? And putting people against each other in that way is ridiculously reactionary and nativist

      If the unemployed are kept unemployed because cheaper labor is brought in from afar, then....

      The article specifically says that high turnover is due to drastic reductions in wages and benefits, then hails Mr Wiley for recruiting from abroad to try and stabilize these poor conditions at the expense of the dissatisfied local labor

      Extrapolating from one article what resettlement policy and it’s effects on labor seems to be a bit much? The larger body of work seems to suggest that this isn’t the case. But more so letting people die in other places as “not our problem” is a pretty gross way to go about life

      Letting people die in other places (within the country) as "not our problem" is exactly what you do when you let dismal labor conditions continue by allowing employers to pull from the world's most desperate rather than pay uppic.twitter.com/CXa4yyHY2F

      Why do you think that supporting refugees means that I don’t also think labor conditions should be better? As someone from a union family that they shouldn’t join current labor organizations or fight for better benefits? Yes management are exploitative assholes 🙄

      and yet here you are endorsing their decisions--does that make you an exploitative asshole by proxy?

      Being from a union family doesn't really amount to much if your activism undercuts the objectives of organized labor elsewhere, does it? It's not a hereditary title after all

          I just don’t think that the difference as a nation is refugees in this case. Companies are doing this kind of thing all over the country in places with no significant refugee population as well.

          I'll grant that to an extent--but reliance on foreign non-refugee labor dwarfs reliance on foreign refugee labor, and is exactly as bad for domestic labor
